Sicydium plumieri (Spanish vernacular: Olivo, Cetí; English vernacular: Sirajo Goby) is a freshwater species of the goby native to the Antilles from Cuba to Trinidad and Tobago, though not recorded from all islands. This species can reach a length of {{convert|11|cm|in}} TL. It is also known by the English common names sirajo, Plumier's stone-biting goby, and tri-tri goby.[https://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=171959 Sicydium plumieri (Bloch, 1786); Taxonomic Serial No.: 171959.] ITIS, the Integrated Taxonomic Information System. 2013. Retrieved 27 August 2013. The young, which are regarded as a delicacy, are of commercial importance. The specific name honours Charles Plumier (1646-1704), a Franciscan friar and naturalist, who found the first specimens of the species on Martinique and Marcus Elieser Bloch based his species description on Plumier's drawings.{{cite web | url = http://www.etyfish.org/gobiiformes3/ | title = Order GOBIIFORMES: Family OXUDERCIDAE (p-z) | access-date= 13 August 2018 | author1 = Christopher Scharpf | author2 = Kenneth J.
